Setup Steps
1
Enable Home Center Mode at Home
Before you travel, enable the "Home Center" mode in the HomiPlay settings on an always-on device at your home (such as a desktop PC).
2
Verify Connection Status
Ensure the designated Home Center device is logged into your HomiPlay account and remains online.
3
Enable Protect by Home Center on Your Portable Device
When you need secure internet access abroad, open HomiPlay on your laptop or phone, select your home device as the Home Center, and activate the "Protect by Home Center" feature.
4
Browse Securely
Once connected, all your external network traffic is safely routed through your home network, allowing you to securely use online banking or stream local content.
How Home Center protects the connection
Home Center routes the travel device through your home network over an encrypted HomiPlay connection, avoiding a shared commercial VPN exit node.
